Starmer's visit was <strong>the first official visit by a British Prime Minister to Beijing in eight years<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Xi also stressed that <strong>mutual benefit and win-win outcomes are at the heart of economic and trade cooperation between China and Britain<\/strong>, and called for expanded cooperation in the area of <strong>education, health, finance and services<\/strong>. Both sides should also implement <strong>joint research and industrial application in the fields of artificial intelligence, biosciences, new energies and low-carbon technologies<\/strong>, to achieve shared development and prosperity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201eThe British side should <strong>ensure a fair, equitable and non-discriminatory environment for Chinese enterprises<\/strong>,\u201c Xi said. He also called for strengthening <strong>human and cultural exchanges<\/strong> and ease of travel. Members of the UK Government, Parliament and other sectors are welcome to visit China more frequently to develop a balanced and objective perception of the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Xi also noted that <strong>the international order has been seriously disrupted recently<\/strong>, and stressed that international law can only be effective if all countries, especially the superpowers, abide by it. Otherwise, a return to the \u201elaw of the jungle\u201c was imminent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In conclusion, President Xi said that <strong>China and Britain, as advocates of multilateralism and free trade, should jointly promote and practice true multilateralism<\/strong>, encourage <strong>a fairer and more equitable system of global governance<\/strong>, build <strong>a flat and orderly multipolar world<\/strong> and promote <strong>a global economy that is inclusive and benefits all<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/news.cgtn.com\/news\/2026-01-29\/President-Xi-meets-British-PM-in-Beijing-1Kk3m0v3A6A\/p.html\">CMG<\/a><\/strong><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Chinese President Xi Jinping and British Prime Minister Keir Starmer, who paid a four-day official visit to Beijing, agreed on Thursday that...<\/p>","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":40496,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[3,7,2973],"tags":[9988,18,1220,4778,211],"class_list":["post-40495","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-neprehlednete","category-politika","category-zahranicni","tag-cinsko-britske-vztahy","tag-cmg","tag-keir-starmer","tag-multilateralismus","tag-xi-jinping"],"acf":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/gnews.cz\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/40495","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/gnews.cz\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/gnews.cz\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gnews.cz\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/6"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gnews.cz\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=40495"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/gnews.cz\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/40495\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":40497,"href":"https:\/\/gnews.cz\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/40495\/revisions\/40497"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gnews.cz\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/40496"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/gnews.cz\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=40495"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gnews.cz\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=40495"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gnews.cz\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=40495"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
